What would they even try to argue here? There’s no way to bypass the ink reload screen to scan anything, the functionality is certainly blocked.
It’s kind of weird that they integrate scanners into their printers in the first place really, scanners are quite reliable and newer inkjet printers are the polar opposite.
They are super guilty of this, I’ve seen it in action. Never buying anything HP every again. And to thinks that as an IT Admin I used to always order HP PC’s for the business over other brands whenever possible. Never again. They can kiss my ass
I bought an HP printer scanner once. They tried to make me opt into accepting Google and Facebook tracking on the device. It’s a damn printer, not a website. That’s when I sent it back and found the dumbest black and white laser printer I could find.
When it comes to printers, the dumber they are the better.

If enough people quit buying ANY HP product because of their shitty printers, they would be incentivized to make it better.
